Anyone else here a Harry Potter fan?

Maybe it is just that in the winter my brain needs something besides the Yankees to latch onto, but each winter for he past 4 years or so I have gotten more and more obsessed with the Harry Potter books and movies.

So much so that I've started writing analytical essays about them. (I know, I know, what a Ravenclaw thing to do...)

Re: Anyone else here a Harry Potter fan?

I got suckered in way back when before the publicity grabbed hold (my "nyah nyah" moment, I guess. ).

For the first few books, I was desperately waiting for the new releases. With the last few, I'm less eager. So much has gone on in my life recently that I just don't have the brain power to retain all the story threads to get back on track for the new books. The Potter universe is complex. Sadly, so is the Penfold universe.

But I will eagerly purchase the next (and final?) book. I'll read it the first month that it's out. I'll enjoy it -- thoroughly -- and talk about it for maybe a month. And then I'll forget all the major plot points.

Re: Anyone else here a Harry Potter fan?

Several of my kids are. My thirteen and twelve year olds. My niece's are interest too. One is thirteen ... and one nineteen.

I listened to one of the stories as a book on tape with my kids on a road trip back to California from Ohio. That was 2+ years ago. The book seemed fine but just isn't something I was really interest in. = Old fart.

Just a SoxFan with a YankeeWife in tow... and with one little RedSoxfan now welcoming her new baby Yankeefan sister into "our" Yankees/RedSox World.
